Not quite that simple. That's like saying if you don't like robbery don't steal.

You can snap out of it. Abortion is legal. Robbery is not.

It's a twisted bit of hypocrisy to see those who are vehemently opposed to war, advocating for baby killin

Abortion may be legal for now, however, if you believe a fetus will eventually become a human being you probably believe aborting it murder, murder happens to be a crime.

It appears more Americans are coming around to that view.

More Americans

Unless someone is robbing you, what does it matter to you?

If you aren't getting aborted, its none of your business.

I guess if you witness your neighbor get gunned down in his front yard, you'll just pull the blinds down and turn up the TV.

Mmmm very interesting logic. So since I have never been a victim of murder, I should have no opinion about the wisdom of making it illegal?

This is such an odd position for the left to take. Aren't we hectored by them about providing healthcare for all. Why should I care, I have insurance. If they don't it's their problem according to your logic.

You witness abortions?

Do you go to the bad neighborhoods in town with a gun trying to be a vigilante?

I suspect he doesn't. However I also suspect he is all in favor of law enforcement patrolling bad neighborhoods.

it is that cut and dry. with the anti choice movement doing all it can to get roe v wade repealed. you are either for the civil rights of women or not. you either think a woman's body is your business or you don't.

the "exceptions to the rule" is not yours/ours to contemplate. that for the woman and her doctor alone. it is not a state issue at all. every woman no matter what state she resides has the right to medical care in her own geographic area.

new attempts from antichoice folks requiring sonograms, waiting periods or not teaching the procedure in medical school will not be accepted.

far too many of our grandmothers, mothers, sisters, aunts and friends have died from coat hanger and back alley. women will not let that era happen again
